“I will suppose then, that everything I see is spurious. I will believe that my memory tells me lies, and that none of the things that it reports ever happened. I have no senses. Body, shape, extension, movement and place are chimeras. So what remains true? Perhaps just one fact, that nothing is certain.” Plato

Finding the real you is an enlightening experience. You become self-sufficient and do things for yourself, for once. You are no longer needy and become utterly grateful for all the things people have done for you in the past. Finding yourself is a time of harmony because you develop the philosophy or belief system that will carry you throughout the rest of your life. How do you know you have found yourself? It is when you are able to help others find themselves. Finding yourself is not easy, but here are a few tips for how to start the process.

Hi Julie,
Who? and Why?
Mmmmmm, well my family has had a massive impact on me.
You, Julie – gave me ambition, strength in voice (yes, it’s true), love of reading, compassion and love of all things arty.
Kathy gave me confidence, camaraderie, love of music, passion and the theatre.
Dad, the love of the stars and the ability to dream.
Mum, resilience!
Ma, compassion, love, patience, faith and resilience.
Pop, loyalty, integrity and strength of character.
In the workplace, Brian Joyce has given me scope to see humanity with open eyes, a love of the unexpected, a love of acting and all the methods to explore – but he also taught me how to step outside of my comfort zone.
Artists/Authors: Tolkien (of course!) – to dream, believe in hope and the goodness in folk. Woolfe, to strive, stand tall, be strong and to never give up. Ian Anderson, to explode and experiment with my flute.
I could go on… but I’d love to read some of yours?
